Following the release of iOS 16.0.3 with major bug fixes, Apple released the fifth beta of iOS 16.1, a version that should be available for all users at the end of this October.
iOS 16.1 Beta 5 is out now, along with iPadOS 16 Beta 12, tvOS 16.1 Beta 5, and macOS Ventura Beta 11. The only device left without Beta (for now) is the Apple Watch, which is still with Beta 4 although Beta 5 should be released in the next few days. This new version should be released with updates for iPad and Mac, which, let’s remember, have not yet been updated to new versions of this year. yesWe also hope that this software release will be accompanied by new devices, likely the 2022 iPad, which will likely debut with a design similar to the iPadAir, and the new MacBooks. These releases are likely to take place without any type of event, so a press release from Apple and an update from the official site would be the way to go.
The new features of iOS 16.1 in these Betas that we tested are as follows:
- Possibility of clean load: In the United States, users will be able to configure their iPhone to charge with clean energy. The phone will be set to start charging when the power grid is powered by low carbon sources.
- he can delete Wallet appwhich will remove the ability to pay with Apple Pay.
